To let me see them, and to make me know
The nature of their crimes, that I may minister
To them accordingly.

PROVOST
I would do more than that, if more were needful −
Enter Juliet.

Look, here comes one: a gentlewoman of mine, [10]
Who, falling in the flaws of her own youth,
Hath blister’d her report. She is with child,

And he that got it, sentenc’d: a young man
More fit to do another such offence,
Than die for this. [15]

DUKE
When must he die?

PROVOST
As I do think, tomorrow.
[To Juliet]

I have provided for you; stay a while,
And you shall be conducted.

DUKE
Repent you, fair one, of the sin you carry?

JULIET
I do; and bear the same most patiently. [20]

DUKE
I’ll teach you how you shall arraign your conscience

And try your penitence, if it be sound,
Or hollowly put on.

JULIET
I’ll gladly learn.
